Before you do anything as executor, you should first decide if you are prepared to take on the responsibility. You don’t have to. However, if you start dealing with any assets of the estate, you are legally bound to continue until you get discharged. Examples of dealing with an asset include paying debts or changing the insurance on a house. You are said to have '''intermeddled''' in the estate, and you can only be relieved of being the executor by a court order discharging you. | Before you do anything as executor, you should first decide if you are prepared to take on the responsibility.
